Resurfacing

Upon resurfacing this morning after the completion of my 10th exam in 21 days (Hallelujah!), an ugly situation was brought to my attention in the form of the Kermit Gosnell case. Heartbreaking evil. How have we strayed so far from the light that it is not outrageous to kill a baby as it exits the womb, or even as it takes it's first cries in this world? Oh Lord, help us. 

This article was so good for my heart to focus on when considering the acts of Kermit Gosnell. Here's an excerpt that spoke to my heart: 

"The Kermit Gosnell story is one of severed spines and seared consciences. A gospel of justification without justice cannot picture a holy God. A gospel of justice without justification ultimately leaves us all without hope before the tribunal of God. The gospel of Jesus Christ speaks of both justice and justification, and brings them together in a Man drowning in his own blood at the Place of the Skull.

And on either side of him, there were thieves."
